New Jersey has become the eighth state to permit people with a terminal diagnosis to end their own lives using a prescription from a doctor with the recently signed “Aid in Dying”.

Facing death is extremely difficult, which is one of the reasons the majority of Americans avoid estate planning and don’t have a will.
